Induced terpene accumulation in Norway spruce inhibits bark beetle colonization in a dose-dependent manner. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Tree-killing bark beetles (Coleoptera, Scolytinae) are among the most economically and ecologically important forest pests in the northern hemisphere. Induction of terpenoid-based oleoresin has long been considered important in conifer defense against ...

Phylogenomic analyses and distribution of terpene synthases among Streptomyces [PDF]
Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2019 Terpene synthases are widely distributed among microorganisms and have been mainly studied in members of the genus Streptomyces. However, little is known about the distribution and evolution of the genes for terpene synthases.

Chemistry & Biology, 2015 In this issue, Young, Moody, and colleagues report the discovery of an isomer of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) virulence factor 1-tuberculosinyl adenosine, N(6)-tuberculosinyl adenosine, in mice infected with tuberculosis. These Mtb-derived terpene compounds may serve as sensitive and specific biomarkers of infection.

First trans-eunicellane terpene synthase in bacteria
, 2022 Terpenoids are the largest family of natural products, but prokaryotes are vastly underrepresented in this chemical space. However, genomics supports vast untapped biosynthetic potential for terpenoids in bacteria.

Terpene Cyclase Mimicking Chlorine-Induced Polyene Cyclizations
, 2022 Nature forges a plethora of structurally divers polyenes with high efficiency and selectivity in a single cyclization step from achiral precursor. Imitating this powerful strategy has been the subject of numerous synthetic efforts.

Terpenoids From Cannabis Do Not Mediate an Entourage Effect by Acting at Cannabinoid Receptors
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2020 The entourage effect was a proposed explanation for biological observations that endocannabinoid ligand activities can be modified by other lipids released from cells at the same time.
